AWS Crypto Tools

We build open source cryptographic libraries that are easy to use, and hard to misuse. Cryptography is hard to do safely and correctly. Our libraries are designed to help you do cryptography right, even without special expertise. Our client-side encryption libraries help you to protect your sensitive data at its source using secure cryptographic algorithms, envelope encryption, and signing.

Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider (ACCP)

ACCP implements the standard Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) interfaces and replaces the default Java cryptographic implementations with those provided by libcrypto from the OpenSSL project. ACCP allows you to take full advantage of assembly-level and CPU-level performance tuning, to gain significant cost reduction, latency reduction, and higher throughput.
